Business Proposal

Ethan's POV I was the husband everyone loved to hate. For three years, my wife's family called me a useless parasite who had married their daughter for money. Even my wife, Sophia, eventually believed them. Then, at a family dinner, she placed divorce papers in front of me. "You have nothing to offer me, Ethan." I signed without fighting. She thought I had lost. She had no idea I had been waiting for this day. That same night, my grandfather died and left me an inheritance worth hundreds of billions of dollars. I wasn't a poor husband. I was the hidden heir to the largest private investment empire in the country. But the inheritance came with a shocking condition. I had to uncover the truth behind my father's death. And every clue led back to the Grant family. The family that had humiliated me. The family that had destroyed my father's company. The family that had convinced the woman I loved to abandon me. So I returned to the business world with one goal: Destroy them. But then I discovered something I never expected. Sophia had been lied to. Her father wasn't the only person hiding secrets. And the more I investigated, the more I realized that my grandfather's death might not have been natural either. Now Sophia wants me back. Her family wants my mercy. And the people who murdered my father want me dead. They thought they had thrown away a worthless husband. They didn't know they had created the most dangerous billionaire they would ever face.

For twenty-eight years, Ethan Cole has known only one thing, survival. Working three backbreaking jobs to keep his bedridden mother alive, Ethan endures every humiliation life throws at him. His wages are stolen, his boss beats him, and his girlfriend leaves him for a billionaire bully who forces him to his knees for a laugh. Ethan swallows his pride because his mother's hospital bills matter more than his dignity. But when a desperate attempt to make extra cash lands him in the wrong room at the wrong time, his wealthy enemies frame him for corporate theft. Beaten by security, publicly ruined on national television, and forced to watch from a jail cell as the shock sends his mother into a coma, Ethan loses the very last thing he has left. Then, the richest man in the country walks into his freezing cell and shatters his reality. Overnight, the worthless nobody becomes Ethan Sterling, the missing heir to the world’s largest business empire. The people who once spat on him are suddenly fighting for his favor. Backed by billions, Ethan refuses their apologies. One by one, he methodically strips his abusers of their wealth, their power, and everything they stole from others. But just as absolute victory is within his grasp, a deathbed confession tears his new life apart. The car crash that killed his biological parents twenty-five years ago was never an accident. It was a cold-blooded murder. And the killer hasn't just been hiding, he has been standing right beside Ethan this entire time, and he has already sprung the trap to finish what he started twenty-five years ago...

Michael Roy was once a promising finance analyst with a bright future. Then he discovered something he was never supposed to see—financial transactions connecting his company to a dangerous criminal network. Before he could expose the truth, Michael was framed for a crime he didn't commit. His reputation was destroyed, the woman he loved turned against him, and he was sent to prison. Six months later, Michael walked out with nothing but his mother's faith and a burning desire for the truth. Then everything changed. Inside prison, Michael awakened the Infinite Opulent System, a mysterious system capable of giving him wealth beyond imagination, extraordinary abilities, and opportunities that ordinary people could never reach. But the System comes with one absolute rule: Its existence must never be revealed. With unlimited wealth at his disposal, Michael could simply buy his way into the world's elite. Instead, he decides to build an empire. His first move is acquiring a majority stake in Visteria Hospitality Group, a struggling billion-dollar company filled with luxury hotels, restaurants, hidden problems, and powerful executives. As Michael transforms failing businesses into thriving empires, his name slowly begins to spread through the business world. But wealth isn't the only thing waiting for him. Behind Visteria's financial irregularities, Michael discovers familiar patterns—hidden payments, corrupt executives, manipulated contracts, and people connected to the same kind of secrets that destroyed his old life. Now Michael has two goals: Build an empire powerful enough to change his world. And uncover the people who tried to bury him. They thought they had destroyed Michael Roy. They didn't know they had created the man who could buy the world.

Elias Pratama loses everything in a single day. Framed for a crime he never committed, stripped of his inheritance, and abandoned by the woman he loves, he reaches the lowest point of his life. When all hope is gone, he encounters The Keeper, a mysterious celestial guardian who entrusts him with The Book of Debts—a divine ledger that records every moral debt humanity has accumulated. Chosen as the world's first Divine Auditor, Elias gains the ability to perceive the hidden "debt stains" carried by corrupt individuals. His mission is not to punish, but to restore what was unjustly taken. Every successful audit returns stolen rights to their rightful owners while rewarding Elias with Commission Fees, allowing him to unlock powerful talents such as business intuition, negotiation mastery, and strategic insight. With the Book as his guide, Elias builds a venture capital empire fueled by justice rather than greed. One by one, powerful billionaires, corrupt executives, and influential figures fall as the truth behind their stolen fortunes is exposed. Yet the Book enforces one absolute law: it can restore wealth, reputation, and opportunity—but it can never force love. When Clara, the woman who left him, reappears, Elias discovers she sacrificed their relationship to save her mother from crushing medical debt. He realizes that winning her back depends entirely on the man he becomes, not the power he possesses. As Elias rises, the Book reveals its greatest secret: his own father once committed a devastating moral crime to protect the family, and the suffering Elias endures is part of that unpaid debt. Faced with the truth, Elias must choose between revenge and redemption. To break the cycle of injustice forever, he must repay the sins of the past, proving that true justice is not about destroying enemies, but restoring balance.

In the modern world, everything has value. Bodies. Time. Love. Shame. Trauma. Information. Even human morality itself. Gavin Valerio finally realizes that truth after his life is destroyed in public. As the poorest student at Riverton University, Gavin loses everything in a single night. His girlfriend sleeps with another man, the video spreads across the university’s social platform, and his humiliation becomes entertainment for thousands of people. In a city where money defines status and status defines reality, someone like Gavin was never supposed to matter. Then, at the absolute lowest point of his life, something awakens inside him. Devil Capital System. A mysterious system that grants him access to unlimited capital assets. Money. Liquidity. Institutional networks. Influence. For the first time in his life, the world’s doors begin opening for him. But the System comes with rules far more terrifying than simply spending money. Because to the Devil Capital System, everything must generate value. Wasteful spending is punished. Emotional decisions are considered weakness. Even love itself can become a threat to system stability. As Gavin descends deeper into Riverton’s hidden world of business mafias, elite banking circles, luxury prostitution, viral media manipulation, and institutional power games, he begins to understand something horrifying: Capitalism was never just about money. It is the mechanism humanity uses to assign value to one another. The richer he becomes, the more Gavin is dragged into a brutal ecosystem built on influence, desire, social manipulation, transactional relationships, information control, and people willing to sell pieces of themselves just to survive. And as Gavin rises higher through a world where everything has a price, he begins to face a far more dangerous question: If value is what controls civilization itself... then who truly has the right to decide what something is worth?

They took everything from him—his family, his love, his name. Two years ago, Charlie Grant was the goldenboy of the Grant family—the perfect son, heir to his father’s billion-dollar empire, and everyone respected him. That ended the day his father brought home his new wife and her children. From that moment, Charlie and his mother were pushed aside, treated like dirt in their own home. Stripped of his inheritance, betrayed by his girlfriend, and humiliated before the entire school, Charlie’s world collapsed. The final blow came when his mother—the only person who truly loved him—died after being denied treatment at a hospital owned by his father’s business partners. All because he couldn’t afford a deposit. But fate wasn’t done with him. In the depths of despair, Charlie remembered a note his mother left behind. A phone number. When he dialed it, three Rolls-Royces arrived at his campus gate within the hour. Each worth twenty million dollars. Each bearing the crest of a dynasty he never knew he belonged to—the Maxwells. That night, Charlie learned the truth. His mother had never been an ordinary woman. She was the rightful heir to a multi-trillion-dollar empire. And now, that empire was his. He wasn’t the miserable Charlie Grant anymore. He was the Incredible Charlie Maxwell. The boy they mocked was now the man they feared. His car collection alone could buy the entire Grant family a hundred times over. His new fortune dwarfed everything they ever dreamed of. But Charlie doesn’t want their envy. He wants justice. He wants them to kneel. And when he walks back into their world, dressed in a $25 million suit and driving a car worth more than their mansion, one thing is certain— The Grants will wish they never crossed him.

Matthew stood there, trying to keep his emotions in check. "I did everything I could for you, Rachel. I sacrificed so much—" She cut him off with a bitter laugh. "Sacrificed? Please, you barely managed to keep up with my lifestyle. I had men lined up, rich, powerful men, who would’ve given me the world. And I turned them down for you. What a joke." Matthew’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. "I loved you, Rachel. I thought we were building a life together." Rachel smirked as she zipped up her designer bag.
